In order to connect with them, we have to make contact with them. We have to shop with them, play sports with them, and hang out with them. We have to interact with them. We have to hang out with and be around them. We have to show them our light as the light of the world.
I know you have heard some interpret Paul’s words of light having no fellowship with darkness as to mean that we should not have anything to do with so-called sinners, but that is an extreme interpretation of that biblical text. How can we impact a dying world without ever interacting with it? The onus is on us. We are to share the gospel with the hopeless and doubtful. It is up to us to reach those who do not know the love of Christ with a message of hope and a ministry of reconciliation.
